Ceremony Continued

Cesha sang a song that we remember from when we were children. I have always loved what it says and asked her to sing it as my words to Ron. I have long wanted a man that I could say those things to and Ron is the perfect one to make those promises to. Our pianist didn't come until the ceremony was ready to start so Cesha got stuck doing the song acapella. If it had been any other soloist I might have worried but I know my Sis can really belt it out and she did a wonderful job even without the benefit of an accompaniest. Thank you Sis.


Our vows were adapted from some vows written for another couple who are friends of mine. As I sat in their wedding two weeks before ours I couldn't help but think that their vows were perfect. I read them to Ron and he said they were just right, Ron and I had tried to write some but weren't getting very far, so we put the list of things we knew we wanted to say into the middle of the vows that our friends used. Ron was emotional reading them and said later that he was very overwhelmed with "This is really happening" thoughts.


There is supposed to be another video here and I will try to keep uploading it but it is long and it seems to not want to take it. The song, rings, and vows are on that video so it is most of the ceremony, I will get it up as soon as I can.

Since Ron and I planned our wedding in Red, White, and Blue in honor of Ron's independence and also because they were Ron's favorite colors, we decided to have fireworks go off when we kissed. I thought it sounded like a nice idea but when it happened it was so perfect. Then when we watched it again it was even better. The recessional looks fine on the video but it seemed to be almost slowmotion to me when we were there. I wanted to run and jump up and down. I was so happy I could barely contain myself!

Next post the reception.

I think there is hope to get them all up before the end of next week. I have been surprised how many times this upload wizard closes in the middle of an upload or gives an error message. If anyone knows of an easier way I would certainly be interested in learning it. I love the little video clips everyone has on their blogs it is so much more fun than just reading. If this is what you all go through then I have even more appreciation for the videos you include.
